Update: 3:06 p.m.
The shooter in today's incident at a Frederick tech park has been identified as 38-year-old Fantahun Girma Woldesenbet, who was an active member of the Navy holding a rank of E-4. Woldesenbet was later shot and killed on the grounds of Fort Detrick by base personnel. ... The original shooting happened around 8:20 a.m. at a facility tied to the military in the Riverside Tech Park in the 8400 block of Progress Court, according to authorities. ... Authorities could not answer whether the shooter, who used a rifle, and the two victims knew each other.
After the shooting at the tech park, Woldesenbet drove his vehicle to Fort Detrick and passed through the gates around 8:45 a.m. According to a Fort Detrick commander, Woldesenbet was stopped at the gate, sped past a worker and made it about a half-mile into the grounds. Fort personnel stopped him, after which Woldesenbet brandished a weapon and was then “neutralized” by police, per authorities.
One victim from the Riverside Tech Park shooting remains in critical condition at the shock trauma center in Baltimore. The second victim is still being treated, but is expected to be released tomorrow, according to Frederick Chief of Police Jason Lando. ... Authorities during an afternoon press conference could not yet speak to a motive for the shootings.
Fort Detrick serves as a military biological defense lab and has several federal civilian biodefense labs. About 10,000 military personnel and civilians work on the base in the city of Frederick.
